Re: [Wikimediauk-l] donate.wikimedia.org.uk has an SSL error

[Thomas Morton]

Yeh I raised this a few weeks ago; and I recall someone else did then.

It's due to misconfigured SSL on the server (setting up a server the handle
multiple SSL certificates can be a pain).

I'm not sure what the status of it being fixed is; but I did offer advice
back then on how to go about it.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] donate.wikimedia.org.uk has an SSL error

Thanks for the reminder of this. I've implemented a work-around for now (moving 
direct debit processing over to donate.wikimedia.org.uk and switching to only 
having SSL on that subdomain) - we'll get a better solution in place before the 
next fundraiser. Please could you check that it's working properly for you now?

(BTW, the issue about being able to donate insecurely was a new one, since our 
.htaccess should have been insisting on using https. This should also be fixed 
- please let me know if this is still happening.)

Thanks,
Mike

I can confirm that it's working properly, at least on my end. My
browser doesn't report a certificate error and http automatically
redirects to https.

Thanks, Michael!

Mike,

Good work. My quick testing agrees that everything is OK.

But who is actually responsible? Jon Davies? Or another member of staff?

Great, thanks for testing it. :-)

Right now, me as a volunteer. The responsibility will soon be transferred to a 
full-time developer post that we're just about to advertise for, though (see 
[[wmuk:Developer_job_description]] ).

That's what I had suspected. A developer who also systems administration 
roles.

That fits.

Wikimedia UK's IT systems. <<

That also fits.
